I have a hard time believing that. Because I think the kinds of objections that the estate were raising were so... numerous, were so detailed, were so antithetical to the spirit of the film. I mean, how can you edit out three hours of crucial fact and still have a coherent film?
I mean, not to mention the fact that, you know, even though it's nine hours, it's really, really layered and meticulously put together. It would be like unweaving a hand-woven carpet. And like I said, I mean... based on the 17 pages of notes, you know, it's an objection to the project. It's an objection to this excavation of Prince.
And I think what the estate wanted was something that was just much more straightforwardly celebratory.
Someone said to me, you know, it's almost like the better the documentary, the less well it fits into Netflix's system. You know, Netflix has become a factory for documentary series. Why should they spend all their resources on a deeply, complexly reported film that takes forever to make when they could churn out 10 much cheaper celebrity docs? Why would they do that?
